Re^4: memory leaks with threads

I have tried running this on an intel arch and amd64 arch machine and found it does leak over time. We have a severe memory leak issue that appears to be related to detached threads in some of our code. Running the 5.8.8 Your test when run on amd64 platform took 36M after 10 minutes we're upto 63M and rising.... My laptop running Ubuntu feisty (i386) leaked at a slower rate... Yours, Karl Royer

Quite possibly. As I mentioned here, the problem does not appear on my win32 system and as I do not use unix, I can do nothing about it. Someone with a unix system that demonstrates the problem will have to raise a perlbug and/or look for workarounds. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
